Newsletter Thoughts January 3, 2026

Beloved Community,

As we enter this season of Epiphany, the story of the Magi offers us profound wisdom for our own journey of faith. Like these ancient seekers who followed the star, we too are called to trust in God's timing and guidance, even when the path ahead seems uncertain.

The Magi's journey reminds us that faithful persistence and community support are essential parts of any sacred quest.They traveled together, supported one another, and remained steadfast in their search - even when the star's light led them in unexpected directions.

As we begin this new year together, let us draw inspiration from their example. Each of us brings unique gifts to our congregation, and together, we continue to seek and follow God's light in our community.

May we, like the Magi, trust in divine timing and support one another as we journey forward in faith.

Please note the "Save The Date" info below for our ALC Burbank Annual Congregational Meeting. Reports from committees will be presented, new committee assignments will be announced, we will celebrate some volunteer recognition, and Council elections will take place. We will also be reviewing the Constitution and Bylaws for ALC Burbank. Contact me if you wish to serve or have any questions. You can email me at President@ALCBurbank.org.

Yours in Christ and Fellowship,

Ric
